Weirdest hour of my life

Postby Carl Buck » Aug 20th, '07, 13:01



I've just popped down to my local shopping park, and called into McDonalds for lunch. I was sat eating a McChicken sandwich, got up to get a napkin and when I turned round there was a, er, 'mentally challenged' man smearing my sandwich over his face. Lettuce and mayonaise everywhere.

His carer came running over from the counter and said "I'm so sorry. He always does this." (His name was Neil, and he showed me his new watch as well. Which was nice.)

When I left, hungry, to go back to my car I couldn't get out of my parking space for a few minutes because a woman had backed her car into a midgets motorbike, and they were having an argument over whose fault it was.

I don't think I'd believe this story myself If I heard it, but it's true!!

I'm scared. I think I must have fallen asleep and woke up in a cartoon :shock:

A question for the questionable carer:
If "He always does this" then why not take preventative measures so he doesn't still "always do this"
Imagine the police saying "Sorry mrs prostitute, but the Yorkshire ripper always does this. We're sick of telling him.

And a queston for you:
Why did you leave hungry? Didn't you get the carer to replace the sandwich? And if not, why not?

Being a Mc.Donalds at least we are all safe in the knowledge that nothing remotely edible was ruined.

never mind that...what the hell is a shopping park?

is it a drive-thru forrest? you pull a branch and get a mr. whippy or something?

i used to work in a second hand record shop, and we had some poor lad come in, all he could say was "meat-pie, meat-pie"...that wasnt the problem, it was the sheer volume of those words...

and i say good on carlos for not demanding a replacement sarnie...not especially the carers fault, not anyone's "fault" as such..just a thing that went a-wry...

Actually, I'm sure that, if you'd explained the situation to the Duty Manager, they'd have replaced your meal for you mate - they're usually pretty good at things like that.

Reminds me of that wonderful SpongeBob episode where he is in bed dreaming of a giant 'Krabby Patty' which speaks to him with real warmth and affection:

Krabby Patty: Just remember, I will always be with you, right here.
[Points at SpongeBob's chest]
SpongeBob SquarePants: In my heart?
Krabby Patty: Actually, in your arteries.

:lol:

What a surreal experience. Credit to you for not demanding a replacement burger from the carer, although you would think he/she would have a preventative strategy by now. And as for midgets on motorcycles... I'm speechless.

Now that made me laugh lol :lol: .

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??
